Why is the future of Arc so important?

The local Arc Kandiyohi County chapter is affiliated with the Arc of MN and the Arc of the United States.
Because of The Arc...
it is no longer the norm for children born with disabilities to spend their lives in institutions!
Because of The Arc...
we have a system of supports that allow families to love and care for their children in their own homes and in their own communities!
Because of The Arc...
every child in this country is afforded the right to a public education, regardless of their intellectual or ability level.
Because of The Arc...
many adults with disabilities have a quality of life that is far richer than that of life in an institution.
The Arc’s ability to expand its capacity as a strong local and statewide organization is critically important if we are to maintain the exceptional progress we have made over the past 50 plus years.
